About Us
Aireen Arellano is a graphic designer/art director/owner at Aerial Ardour, LLC, a design studio that works with companies to create thoughtful, visual branding and just plain cool design. She fondly recalls the nightly ritual of watching classic TV shows on Nick at Nite with her brother, C.J., while demanding that he stop making fun of The Monkees. She also remembers sharing moments of gut-busting laughter with him when Lucy and Ethel demanded ‘Equal Rights.’ She works and lives outside of Chicago with her amazing husband, Jeff, and disgustingly cute Boston Terrier, Angel.

C.J. Arellano is an award-winning writer/filmmaker. Memories of fighting with his sister over whether to watch The Jeffersons or Daria are burned firmly into his brain, alongside memories of them agreeing to watch I Love Lucy instead. He lives in Chicago with his super cool and pretty great boyfriend of three years. Sift through his writing and video stuff at www.CJarellano.com.
